healthy for you. In order to

foods, refined sugar, processed foods or basically anything with a long
ingredient list. Start eating fruits because they’re loaded with
vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. Since you have to avoid refined
sugar, fruits are going to be just perfect for you to satisfy your sweet
tooth. Fruits do contain sugar but they also contain fiber. The fiber
contained in the piece of fruit helps that fruit to not raise your sugar
level as much. Go easy on the fruits if you’re trying to lose weight.
And if you eat a lot of fruit then you have to be really physically
active in order to burn all those carbohydrates off. It’s also important
